A masterpiece among the masterpieces of the U.S. Army that protected the lives of soldiers on extremely cold battlefields. This is an actual vintage M-51 Field Parka (also known as "Mod Coat"), which was officially adopted in 1951. This model was developed to cope with the extremely cold environment during the Korean War, and later evolved into the M-65, which can be said to be the origin of the U.S. military parka. Among them, this item is equipped with a late model hood with coyote fur, and in addition, it is a "full set of winter specs" with a complete pile liner, which is a valuable configuration with few existing numbers.
The size is estimated to be medium.
The shell is made of thin cotton poplin and is windproof. The moderately faded olive green color gives it a vintage look. The front is an early type with brass zippers instead of aluminum. The cuffs and hem are lightly frayed, and there are some faded colors. There is a sense of authenticity that cannot be experienced with replicas. The most attractive feature is the boa-style pile liner that keeps you warm and the large hood with coyote fur to protect you from the wind and snow. It boasts unparalleled performance as a midwinter warm-weather garment, and is both practical and collectible.
This piece embodies vintage military royalty. In addition to its versatility to be worn with any style, it has a presence filled with a story that can be told. If the size fits, it will be your partner for life, and is truly a "when you see it, it's time to buy it" gem. This is a used item and cannot be returned. Please understand that this is a pre-owned item and cannot be returned.
